The Gin Game

See it if you want to see the dazzling Tyson, altho the material is far beneath her. This is a stupid play. And Jones didn't improve it.

Don't see it if I was bored and frustrated. JEJ plays a bully. Nothing funny or charming or revelatory here. So disappointing. Why revive this clunker???

See it if great beloved actors. Amazing performances. She's 90!! The issues are timeless

See it if An honor to be in the theater with James and Cicely.

Don't see it if You don't like dialogue only plays.

See it if you enjoy great acting. It's a two-hander about two senior citizens who meet, and the co-dependent relationship that develops between them.

Don't see it if a quiet, slowly-paced show with a small cast, a simple set and very little story underwhelms you.

See it if you want a good laugh

See it if if you want to see two legends of the American Theatre perform one of the most witty, sharp and poignant plays around.

Don't see it if you've seen this production already.

See it if like me, you just wanted to see any play with James Earl Jones and Cicely Tyson .

Don't see it if you trust your friends who saw it and told you the script was terrible

See it if you enjoy plays that very much depend upon the expertise of the actors, as the writing itself is quite slight

Don't see it if you want fast action, and know that you might want to smack some sense into both characters for being their own worst enemies

See it if you want to see James Earl Jones act onstage

Don't see it if you want a fast-paced comedy. This show is neither.

See it if You really want to see Cicely Tyson or James Earl Jones live... They are both super talented but the story crawls.

Don't see it if Boring, no drama, difficult to hear

See it if you like the stars and wouldn't mind watching them read a phone book. There's a nice dramatic arc in the script, but not in this production.
